ICT: A Market Leader in Fluorosurfactants

Thetawet Fluorosurfactants

ICT provides a wide range of Thetawet Fluorosurfactants to deliver multiple benefits which can improve the performance of your coatings and formulations. Many of the Thetawet Fluorosurfactants allow for reduction or elimination of VOC in coatings formulations. Fluorosurfactants are a class of specialty surfactants developed for use in applications where traditional hydrocarbon surfactants can't deliver the required level of performance, such as:

Wetting for low energy surfaces

Fluorosurfactants are the most effective and efficient means to reduce the surface tension of aqueous coatings systems to < 20 dynes/cm and enable wetting of low energy surfaces. Hydrocarbon surfactants typically reduce the surface tension to 30-35 dynes/cm.

Leveling

Smoother, more reflective surfaces can be achieved by using fluorosurfactant to improve leveling performance.

Penetration

Improved penetration combined with the low energy wetting capabilities of fluorosurfactants can significantly boost the performance of cleaning products including floor and automotive polishes.
